Cons can include a possible mistake, just as any medical procedure. We are honest and as a medical profession who cares for countless readmmision of people not doing "easy" things, im completely in favor of a parent making an informed decision for their newborn BEFORE he can talk and rationalize or justify his choice which at that time would be traumatic to lose a part of your body, however small. |
So you don't think a child gets to make a decision on something that will affect him his entire life? Very well, let's play with this:
You know, throat cancer is hard to get without a throat, so why not just rip those out at birth? After all, people can use those electronic voice boxes. Totally removes the risk of any chance there. How about bowel cancer huh? Kinda hard to get that if we tear out one's colon and leave them with colostomy bags. All in the name of NOT getting cancer, we have to cut ourselves up. See what kind of idiotic logic this is? You're willing to cut out PERFECTLY WORKING tissue in order to prevent the risk of something that is not likely to occur?
